This tower for me looks a bit like Chinese architecture with its arched roof. The tower was built in end of XIX c. - beggining of XX c. At first it was called a bell tower, later - observational tower. It was because of his functions - a bell was made to alarm when to get up and go sleeping and observational - due to function of good watching from it what workers do. Later tower was used as a water tower for water heating.

The palace is surrounded by a river and a park. This park is Italian style, it was started to be created in 1898 by famous Italian architect Eduardo Andre project. There is one stone in park, where it is written official date of park creating - 1900.

Few years ago there was trout nursery in ponds near the park.

Stable of Tiskeviciai palace

I havent tought that stables looked so nice that time. It looks like another palace where people should live, but that time it was made for keeping horses.

This building built in end of XIX century, in neo-barocco style. First floor was for horses and waggons, second floor - for stablemen and waggoners.

The Traku Voke palace place till middle of XIX century belonged to Trakai marshal Liudwik Dombrowski. Later, the palace territory was purshased by one of the most famous Lithuanians land owners and one of the rishest person that time - John Tiskevicius. In 1876-1880 the construction of palace started and the designer of that palace was Italian architect L. Marconi. It was a order to build a palace, looking like Lazienki palace in Warsaw (Poland), so now it is really looking like Lazienki, just smaller and not so well prepared for tourists.

In the time of Second World War, here were living German soldiers, after that (in USSR times) - agriculture institute, now - the Lithuanian noblemen union central building.
